It was a great way to see the city. The River cruise was amazing. The crew was the commentator and knowledgable. I would recommend big bus hop on and off.

Great way to see the city and give yourself a taste of where you’d like to spend more time. I’d take this tour again and again

Very disappointing. Started well. Went straight to the Thames River Cruise on the Red Bus (9am) which was great. Very funny commentary onboard. We then boarded the Blue Bus to return to Piccadilly. Hours of driving around in circles. Finally the driver announcing a detour but still sitting in traffic or passing the same old attractions with no announcement to tell us when we could get off. There were 3 other couples around us also not impressed. Finally a few of us went and asked the driver who then gave us options with a 30 minute walk to where we wanted to get off. Stop 5 or 6. It was then 4pm, no lunch, we hadn’t even gotten off anywhere else. Not brave enough to get back on another line. Should have walked & used the Underground.

Absolute disaster !
We went from Westminster to Hyde park and the bus stopped due to protests.
No plan in place and driver was completely blindsided, didn’t know what to do.
Did a 360 turn on a main road to try and realign.
I paid £196 for 4 tickets.
Three days trying to get a refund.

Do not use this Big Bus Tour. Drivers are next to useless. They don't tell you that you don't have enough time to get to a connecting bus and try to blame the customer for not knowing how long we would be stuck in traffic. We were not able to take the river cruise nor able to take green line to Kings Cross. We had to hail a cab.

Our first experience with Big Bus was with their very knowledgeable and friendly customer service representative Fuad. The tour continued to be wonderful.

The experience started off pretty well when we hopped on at stop 39. The audio and music are slightly annoying but we got a feel for the sites we drove by. We had a wonderful one way boat tour on the river - our guide was delightful and warm and welcoming. Drinks, snacks and toilets are available on board. However our experience became quite negative when we hopped back on the bus and our bus stopped for a lengthy time with no explanation. Turns out the drivers shift ended and we had to wait for another bus. We were not told this but had to find out on our own. Fine. Until we hopped onto the relief bus and it too stopped after two stops. We once again had no explanation and sat for 20-30 minutes. This drivers shift ended also - and this was the bus they diverted us to after our first interruption!! Customers were getting quite annoyed and we had no real answers - we were finally diverted to a third bus after much wasted time. Awful. No communication. This should have been a wonderful experience from the reviews. I suggest trying the competition called TOOTS.

At one stage we sat on a bus waiting for ages as they couldn’t find a driver. Three busses were sitting at a stop not going. This wasted so much time in our day. There was a lot of confusion while staff were on mobile phones trying to find drivers. The stops were not also clear and so many of the passengers were asking each other where we were and what stop we were at. The river cruise was the best part.

We bought the 48 hour tour and spent more time waiting on buses than riding them today! On average, it was 20-30 minutes every time we tried to "hop on" - and we rode all 3 routes. Once, I was using the app (50) and although I was standing right where the app located the stop, I had to bang on the door when the bus passed to make it stop, after waiting 50 minutes! The driver said "that's not a stop", I told him to tell that to his app. Once we gave up and took a cab to make sure we made it to our destination on time. We've done this system in several other cities/countries and enjoyed it but not this one. I'm sorry I've spent the money or I certainly wouldn't use them again tomorrow.
